Tyler Sanford & Benedict Pinot Noir 2019, Santa Rita Hills

Tyler has the great fortune of working with the oldest vines in the Santa Rita Hills. Planted to a selection of cuttings from the famed Mt. Eden vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains, this parcel sits just below our block of chardonnay in very well-drained but deep chert/shale soils above chalk.  This 45+ year old parcel planted by Richard Sanford and Michael Benedict routinely produce the most complex, pure and ethereal pinot noir in our range. It is a wine of total grace and elegance.
